Bill > H582

This bill requires state agencies, including the Registry of Motor Vehicles, to regularly provide data to the Secretary of the Commonwealth to ensure the accuracy of the Central Registry of Voters, which is a statewide list of registered voters. Specifically, these agencies must electronically transmit information such as names, addresses, dates of birth, and driver's license or social security numbers to the Secretary at least every two months, along with any changes made to that data. The Secretary will then share this information, along with data received from other agencies, with the Electronic Registration Information Center (ERIC), a non-profit organization that helps states maintain accurate voter rolls, after establishing a formal agreement. The bill also directs the Secretary to explore implementing a centralized system to manage data from ERIC and send mailings to voters, aiming to reduce the administrative burden on local election officials.
